A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in
which the all powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers
could control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because
they love their servitude. To make them love is the task assigned in present
day totalitarian states to ministries of propaganda, newspapers and
schoolteachers. Aldous Huxley – Brave New
World.

Mark
Steyn's “Must Read” new article on demographics and Western survival

********************************

Ten years ago this month - January 2006 - The
Wall Street Journal and The New Criterion published my first draft
of what would become the thesis of my bestselling book, America Alone.
The Journal headline sums it up: "It's
the Demography, Stupid." Opening paragraph:

Most people reading this have strong
stomachs, so let me lay it out as baldly as I can: Much of what we loosely call
the Western world will not survive this century, and much of it will
effectively disappear within our lifetimes, including many if not most Western
European countries. There'll probably still be a geographical area on the map
marked as Italy or the Netherlands--probably--just
as in Istanbul there's still a building called St. Sophia's Cathedral. But it's
not a cathedral; it's merely a designation for a piece of real estate.
Likewise, Italy and the Netherlands will merely be designations for real
estate. The challenge for those who reckon Western civilization is on balance
better than the alternatives is to figure out a way to save at least some parts
of the West.

If we are to be completely honest about ensuring a
peaceful future for our children and grandchildren, we first need to understand
the following - Islam is a mortal threat to our civilization, but it cannot be
destroyed. Neither can it assimilate or modernise. If Western civilisation is
to survive the 21st century, our only option is to remove Islam from the West.
